Abstract: A figure location detecting system is designed to detect a location of
a first figure (e.g., search fingerprint) within a second figure (e.g., file
fingerprint). Particularly, the system is designed to correctly match
characteristic points of the first figure with characteristic points of the
second figure even if the first figure contains a plenty of similar
characteristic points whose characteristics are similar with each other
and/or even if the first figure is (partially) distorted. Herein, the system
creates matching characteristic point pair candidates each corresponding to
a pair of a first characteristic point, corresponding to one of the
characteristic points of the first figure, and a second characteristic point
corresponding to one of the characteristic points of the second figure. The
matching characteristic point pair candidates are created on the basis of
relative characteristics which are calculated for proximity characteristic
points which exist in proximity to the first and second characteristic points
respectively. Then, the system narrows down the matching characteristic
point pair candidates to matching characteristic point pairs by removing
wrong matching characteristic point pair candidates, each of which is
detected as a wrong match in consideration of a matching situation of the
proximity characteristic points. Coordinate matching parameters are
produced with respect to each of the matching characteristic point pairs.
Thus, the system outputs most concentrated coordinate matching
parameters which values of the coordinate matching parameters
sequentially produced concentrate in most frequently.

Abstract: A fluidized bed reactor (10) includes a plurality of nozzles (28)
for introducing a fluidizing gas wherein at least some of
the nozzles (28) are provided with a plate (32) proximate to the
nozzle inlet which redirects the flow of the fluidizing gas
to the nozzles. By providing a plate (32) at the inlet of the
nozzles (28) the following is accomplished. Even flow
distribution of the fluidizing gas through the nozzle is
achieved. The pressure drop through the nozzle remains
relatively high thus insuring good fluidizing gas
acceleration which eliminates the adherence of the fines to
the interior surface of the nozzle.

Abstract: Ultrasonic diagnosing apparatus includes an
ultrasonic probe (1), an ultrasonic wave transmitting
and receiving unit (4 to 9) for transmitting ultrasonic
pulses (3) toward a living body and receiving
ultrasonic waves reflected by the living body to
produce an echo signal, and a signal processing circuit
(10 to 22) for processing the echo signal such that a
Doppler frequency representing a relative movement
between the ultrasonic probe (1) and living tissues is
detected and used to derive a value representing the
velocity of a blood stream which is free from the
influence of such relative movement. 
     A first Doppler frequency due to
the blood stream is detected from a signal component
which is obtained by MTI filters and auto-correlation
circuits, a second Doppler frequency due to the relative
movement between the ultrasonic probe and the living
tissues is detected from a signal component which is
obtained by the auto-correlation circuits, and then a
velocity of the blood stream is detected from a
difference between said first and second Doppler
frequencies. Such ultrasonic diagnosing apparatus can enable a
bloodstream of low velocity to be detected more accurately than in
the prior art, and can advantageously be applied to an ultrasonic
endoscope.

interconnected delay elements, to which an input signal
(PA) is input and which sequentially outputs, from a
plurality of connecting points of the delay elements, a
plurality of delayed signals obtained by delaying the input
signal by a delay period determined by the numbers of the
delay elements. Several pulse phase difference encoding
circuits (52, 54) to each of which a pulse signal (PB, PX)
is input, and each of which detects a delayed signal
corresponding to an input timing of the pulse signal (PB,
PX) among the plurality of delayed signals output by the
delay circuit (52), outputs position data representing a
position of the delay element of the delay circuit which
issues the delayed signal, and generates digital data (D0-D14)
corresponding to a phase difference between the input
signal (PA) and the pulse signal (PB, PX) by using the
position data. The several pulse phase difference encoding
circuits (54, 56) share the delay circuit (52) in generating
the digital data.

Abstract: A wavelength converter that is suitable for long-distance
large-capacity optical communication includes
waveguides 1 and 2 for producing nonlinear changes in
refractive indices, light interaction circuits 3 and 4,
and light delay circuits 9 and 10. When the pulse
interval of an input signal pulse is denoted by T o  and the
speed at which a signal light pulse passes through a
delay circuit is denoted by V g , the difference ΔL d  of the
optical paths in the light delay circuits satisfies the
relation ΔL d =V g T o /2. As a result, when there is an
interaction involving two sequential light beams, the
phases of which are demodulated by the input signal
pulse, any wavelength chirping affecting the light beams
is minimised or cancelled out.

Abstract: A plasma display device has a display panel
including first and second electrodes arranged in
parallel with one another and third electrodes arranged
to be orthogonal to the first and second electrodes. A
slit coincident with a line formed by discharge cells
is selected by applying a scanning pulse and addressing
signal at an addressing step (A) and sustaining
discharge (S) is initiated in the selected slit at a
sustaining discharge step. In a drive method for the
plasma display device, first and second slits are
defined between a second electrode and first electrodes
on one side and the other side of the second electrode.
Interlacing is carried out by displaying lines
coincident with the first slit and second slit
alternately. A charge adjustment step (T) is set
between the addressing step and sustaining discharge
step. At the charge adjustment step, a charge
adjustment pulse is applied in order to adjust at least
one of the polarity and magnitude of a wall charge
accumulated due to discharge occurring at the
addressing step. 
     Such a drive method can ensure normal display on a
stable basis for a plasma display panel in which
sustaining discharge pulses that are mutually out of
phase are applied to adjoining slits in order to
initiate sustaining discharge, and to thus specify
display slits between a Y electrode and X electrodes
across the Y electrode.

Abstract: An arcing fault detector (45) band pass filters the ac current in a
protected circuit (67) to generate a sensed current signal with pulses having an
amplitude related to the step increases in current produced each time an arc is struck.
The envelope of this pulse signal is tracked by a first, slow tracking circuit or envelope
detector (51) having a first, long time constant and a second, fast tracking circuit (53)
having a second, shorter time constant. When the second tracking signal (121)
generated by the second tracking circuit (53) falls below a predetermined fraction of the
first tracking signal (119) of the first tracking circuit (51), a charge pulse modulator
(59) generates a pulse (137) of a size which is a function of the amplitude of the most
recent pulse in the sensed current signal. When a time attenuated accumulation of the
charge pulses maintained on an integrating capacitor (139) reaches a preselected level,
an output circuit (63) generates an arcing fault indication.

Abstract: A method of encoding images such as fingerprint type images (Fig. 2) is disclosed. A phase map structure for the image is formed (Fig. 3) and any singularities (+1, 2,0.5) in the phase map structure are removed to create a continuous phase map structure (Fig. 5). The structure of the singularities and the continuous phase map structure are then separately encoded to form an encoded representation (88) of the image (50). Preferably, the singularity encoding includes encoding a position of each singularity in addition to its order and orientation. The phase map structure can be of the form:       f   (   x,y   ) =    a   (   x,y   ) +    b   (   x,y   )   cos   (   φ   (   x,y   )) +    c   (   x,y   ) +    n   (   x,y   )          The significance map can further include a separate encoding of phase map magnitude components.

Abstract: Burst-mode data transfers between a SCSI host bus adapter (109)
and at least one SCSI bus device interface adapter (106 or 303) are
implemented by hardware. For a first embodiment of the invention, the device
interface adapter (106) is equipped with a first, second and third data registers
201, 202 and 203, respectively), a comparator(204), a subtractor(205), and
control logic (206) in the form of an application specific integrated circuit.
When a burst-mode transfer is requested, the first register (201) is programmed
with a value corresponding to the length of the transfer in bytes, and the second
register (202) is programmed with the maximum possible number of bytes in a
burst. The comparator (204) then compares the value in stored in the first
register (201) with the value stored in the second register (202) and determines
which is the smaller. The smaller of the two values is written to the third
register (203). The subtractor (205) then subtracts said third value from said
first value to obtain a remainder value. The first value is then replaced with a
new first value equal to said remainder value. The control logic (206)
orchestrates the steps of comparing said first and second values, storing the
smaller of said first and second values in said third register, subtracting said
third value from said first value to give a remainder value, replacing said first
value with a new first value equal to said remainder value, and causing the steps
of comparing, storing, subtracting and replacing to be repeated until said first
value is equal to zero. Initial loading of the first and second registers (201 and
202, respectively) is performed by either the control logic (206) or by a
microprocessor (207). For an alternate embodiment of the invention, the control
logic, the comparator and the subtractor are replaced by a microprocessor (307).
